Sweet Fury - The most powerful and addictive feminist thriller debut of the year

Famous film star Lila Crayne is America''s sweetheart: she''s generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. A golden girl. She and her fiance, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning New York apartment, and are embarking on a new movie: a modern feminist adaptation of a classic twentieth-century novel. To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins work with charming and accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila''s impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch - and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But neither of them is being entirely honest, and before long a deadly game of revenge is triggered, in which everyone, on screen and off, plays a part . . .
